International Guitar Night
featuring Clive Carroll, Alexandre Gismonti, Pino Forastiere, and Brian Gore
THE INTERNATIONAL GUITAR NIGHT (IGN) brings together the world’s foremost acoustic guitarists to perform their latest original compositions and exchange musical ideas in a public concert setting. Each tour, IGN founder Brian Gore invites a new cast of guitar luminaries to join him for special evenings of solos, duets and quartets that highlight the virtuosity and diversity within the world of acoustic guitar.
For this show at The Cedar, Brian will be joined by Clive Carroll, England's show-stopping steel string guitarist and favorite IGN alumnus; Alexandre Gismonti, the son and protege of legendary Brazilian guitarist Egberto Gismonti, and Pino Forastiere from Italy, whose two handed melodic style has placed him at the forefront of the new contemporary steel string guitar world.
